in washington. the hartford courant -- in atlanta georgia, independent, what are your thoughts, theron? caller: i am libertarian in atlanta. i was struck by two things from the speech. one of them was something he said and if another was something he did not say. he made a point about climate change and his concern for future generations. i was struck by the contradiction in that he does not appear to have much concern about the future generations when it comes to the debt that this country is forcing upon them. regarding what he did not say if there was no mention in his litany of things he wants to do on his leftist agenda regarding tax reform, which is something republicans and democrats i don't think want to see happen, because it is the core of the chronic capitalism that basically finances both of the political parties and something that would be a good thing for america if we were to get rid of the irs and income tax and repeal the 16th amendment? and go to a fair tax like libertarian gary johnson promoted in the past election. host: on twitter -- james in dickinson, texas, democratic c

, republican. caller: i believe our public schools are failing us as a nation. i live in atlanta. many of our public schools in atlanta have been questioned or lost their accreditation because they are not meeting standards currently. our public schools are failing us as a nation. that is evidenced by many of your callers who don't have a very firm grasp of the english language. host: do you think the closing of a school that's not performing to a federally set standard is a fair move? caller: fair in an unachievable goal. i was told my entire life by my parents that life is not fair. life is not fair. host: glencore go on to brandon in dover, delaware, on our independent line. caller: how are you? nice show as usual. in delaware in my area we are having no problem with school closings. they are building more schools and bigger high schools and things of that nature. so we're having no problem here. do awaythink you should with the public schools. i have seen it being a problem because i used to travel a long way to school and i used to see houses out in the country. i used to think, sooner o

evangelicals are calling for changes to the immigration laws. atlanta, georgia rep, in open phones. caller: i was thing he about the debt limit and the discussion about it. over the next four years, the only thing i would like to see is to set a standard on what the debt limit increase should be. 1% every four months, six months? said the increase because it's just going to keep rising and then there will be a discussion on the cuts. but you have a party in power for one term, four years or whatever, and then the next party comes in. all of this gridlock is creating uncertainty in the market and anxiety or people who receive social security benefits and the things like that. the last comment, i would love to see changes in elections due to corruption. that is how i would change in how this country is being run. host: democratic caller from pennsylvania. caller: i'm glad people are getting together. this is the age of the internet. if we did our reenact glass- steagall, we will not have anything. 1989, at the end of the cold war we owed $4 trillion. russia is not a debtor nation. they just sig

. we're talking with steve clemons with "the atlanta." and gary schmitt of the american enterprise institute. our focus is the nomination of chuck hagel to be the next defense secretary. ann joins us from tennessee, a democrat. caller: it does not matter who president obama nominates. the republicans will get everything and everybody he puts up there. they do not know -- what anybody who knows about war or how it feels to be in war. they can sit behind that desk and put authorizations. someone who has walked in their shoes know about war. it is time for the republicans and democrats to wake up. host: thanks for calling. gary schmitt? guest: there are senators who have walked in those shoes. senator mccain has locked in those shoes and sacrificed a great deal -- has walked in those shoes and sacrificed a great deal. i do not think that is the issue. it is not clear senator hagel, he may not get many votes from republican senators for the nomination, but there are a number of senators who lean toward more libertarian positions on foreign policy and would probably be more supportive o

is as bad as it is? guest: the cdc, which is based in atlanta, is the main agency of the federal government and in the world who does disease striking, so they have capabilities of determining the relative percentage of visits in different types of clinics throughout the country that are related to what we call influenza-like illnesses. then they do testing among them to determine if it actually is influenza or if it is another type of respiratory infection. what they have shown from the beginning of all this, like i said, which started at the end of november and beginning of december, is that we are having an upsurge in the number of percentages of visits that are related to influenza-like illness. they have successfully identified what kind of influence it is and they know exactly what the strain is. that is important, because one of the things in this mass of sobering news is good news that the influenza strains that are circulating throughout society in the united states are very well matched to the vaccine that has been distributed. that is a very powerful argument for getting vaccinat

" -- from "the arizona republic" -- this is from "the atlanta journal constitution" -- why january 20 and white a second ceremony on january 21? there's an answer available on the website committee. this is the seventh time in our nation's history that the mandated date for an inauguration has fallen on a sunday. the first time was back in 1821. that was president monroe's second swearing in and it happened with zachary taylor and more recently, president eisenhower and president reagan in their second term had inauguration's fallen on a sunday and the constitution was changed back in the 1930's. fdr was sworn in on march 4 and congress and the president deems the transition peiord was far too long so it was moved to january 20. we will have live coverage of the swearing in today from the white house and just past 8:00 this morning, vice president joe biden will be sworn in from the naval observatory, the official residence of the vice president. the inaugural committee released a web video as the president reflected on what is next for him and his administration.

. senator saxby chambliss. you can read more about that in the atlanta constitution and many others. stanley from massachusetts is on the line for independents. your thoughts regarding term limits. caller: thank you for having me on. what about pensions? they should not get a pension if they have term limits. for life? come on. host: that sounds like an interesting thought. we will move to betty on the line for democrats. caller: thank you very much. i oppose term limits. in a sense, every elected official has term limits because they can be voted out. in ore., a long-term service gives us a board appropriate chance to argue against the states that have high population when we have low population. two examples are senator wayne morris and mark hatfield. when morris was the first senator to speak out against the vietnam war because it was against international law. senator hatfield likewise served to his retirement. both men with great honor. when morris was elected as a republican from eastern oregon. he walked the aisle and became a democrat and was reelected as a democrat. i think the curr

. what's your advice to republicans for the second obama administration? john in atlanta, georgia, democrat. caller: how are you? my advice is in the form of this. that the congress in both houses, the senate and the house, work and serve at the pleasure of the american people. my advice is do what is best for the american people. pay your? -- pay your debts. pay what you are supposed to pay and stop holding up the debt ceiling and holding it over. you think you are holding it head, but they are holding it over the american people's head. my advice is let's get the show on the road this year. no extensions. let's make a clean breast of it. host: there's a story in the baltimore sun this morning on raising the debt limit. here is an image of a democrat of vermont saying the debt ceiling is being used as an economic weapon of mass destruction. what is your advice to republicans? our next caller is rorie in erie, pennsylvania, republican. caller: my advice is to stop using our entitlement for immigration purposes. that seems to be ignored repeatedly, that we keep giving our entitleme
